Cutting Celery Plants

Apium graveolens

Known as Leaf Celery or French Celery

A more flavorful choice than its crunchier cousin, Cutting Celery is a leafy, aromatic herb that can be substituted for celery in dishes if you want to add flavor without the stringy fibers. Often mistaken for flat-leafed Parsley, Cutting Celery has a dark, glossy leaf with a serrated edge and small sprig-like stalks. The leaves and stems can be used to add flavor to salads, vegetables, stews and soups.

Related to the carrot family, this flavorful culinary herb packs a punch of taste into its slender stems and delicate leaves. Just a few sprigs of this savory herb will replace the taste of an entire bunch of store-bought celery.

Cuttiny Celery is used in Ayurvedic medicine for asthma, bronchitis and flatulence. NOT TO BE USED during pregnancy.

Trim this tenacious tender perennial's leaves often to encourage flavorful new growth. Though winter hardy, this anise flavored herb will grow well in pots or containers indoors and can be easily transplanted to the garden in the spring!
